On FX - cool show. Dialogue can get "forced" but the storylines have been so far solid and interesting. It's superficially about a biker gang, but it's really more of a look into freedom and what it means. It reminds me of an HBO type show in the sense that there's a long over-arching story intermingled with weekly episodes that though they could stand alone, really are setting up something bigger. So far, so good.

I debated watching this or not...and decided against....but, if I hear enough good things I'll get the DVD when the season is over.....

Mike, are you a son of anarchy?

I wasn't going to watch it either, and I missed the first episode, but for whatever reason I dvr'd the next two. Finally got around to watching them last night and they were better than I expected.

I am not a Son of Anarchy, no. I have a different code - more like Dexter from Dexter, I guess. The SoAs make too much noise. That lifestyle would give me a headache.

You have no feelings, just like Dexter.

This topic is about the Sons of Anarchy, not Dexter. You know how we feel about thread derailment around this place.

Finished Seasons 1 and 2 and I just started the 3rd season of SOA. I like it a lot, even if the plot and dialogue is a little weak.
It's fun, and the acting is generally pretty good. I really like the "getting old" subplot/theme.

The show definitely is deserving of a :bump:

I just finished season 1 and I'm going to continue because I've heard season 2 is better and 3 is the best, even outstanding. :hmm:

took me awhile, they are kind of phony bikers, the clothes and bikes are a little off, but once you get past that the acting is pretty good.

I swear there is a little of U2's Smile toward the very end of episode 10 of season 3 (Firinne).

FYI.

Just have the season 3 finale to watch. It's a pretty good show, but not a great one.
I'm liking the quirky characters the best--Tig, Agent Stahl, Happy.

We have the Blue Crack House, Mr. Blu has SOA. :giggle: Our Friday evenings revolve around the show when it's airing. He hates that the season is only about 12 episodes, though. :down:

Hmm I didn't hear the song at all.

I just finished season 3 and :up:

DON'T open this spoiler if you haven't finished season 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Tig/Kozik argument reveal: best scene ever. :lmao:
although I just knew it already, it was still great.
(and what I really loved about the whole thing was the way the entire club totally respected their argument all season. LOL.)

That was a pretty awesome season finale.
Tig has become my favorite character.

Next season:

I'm curious if season 4 is set entirely in prison, or if they are going to fast forward a little.

So...

I'm kinda glad they skipped the 14 months of prison. (It could have been interesting though. I suppose there'll be some flashbacks.)
But, I thought the premiere was a little boring, at least until the end, then FUCK YEAH!!!
